The Free
Life....
The- life of the blooming
wild flower is free and with-
out a care . . . But shortly
the frosts come, they wither
and pass away . . . During
the summer months life’s
problems and demands do
not seem so pressing to mor-
tals. But the cold days
come with changing seasons
and then is when the wisdom
of the habit of saving proves
itself . . . When you decide to
start the practice of thrift
by saving, this bank can
serve you in many ways.

THIS TOPSY-TURVY WORLD
Corpus Christi Caller: The topsy-
turvy condition of the world today
could hardly be appreciated better
than through a contrast of Ameri-
can and Russian agricultural pro-
grams.
A Russian court in Tashkent re-
cently put 55 cotton farmers on
trial for their lives. They are ac-
cused of having grown only 60 per
cent of the amount of cotton which
the government expected them to
grow this year; and if the court
finds out that they limited pro-
duction on purpose, all will be shot.
Contrast that now, with the
American farm program, which
aims at cutting production rather
than expanding it. Laying aside
the bloodcurdling savagery of the
penalty involved, the contrast is il-
luminating.
In Russia, the farmer gets into
trouble for not raising enough; in
America he gets into trouble if he
raises too much. A mad world,
this.

BABY BORNE IN TEXAS
EVERY FOUR
MINUTES
Austin, Feb. 13.—A new baby
every four minutes, 320 every day,
10,100 a month—that’s the record
of Texas in 1934, according to Dr.
W. A. Davis, director of the State
Bureau of Vital Statistics, State
Health Department. The total
number of births registered for the
year was 121,508, an increase of
8,839 over 1933, when 112,669, the
greatest number of births ever reg-
istered with the bureau in any
year, was registered.
The 1934 records showed an ex-
cess of 57,956 births over the total
deaths every eight minutes, 174
each day or 5,296 a month.

Alcohol resulting from the fer-

yeast can be converted into vine-

do that unless the presence of the
law were actual or impending.—

Compared with some of the plans
